==History==
The city, originally a whistle-stop of the Missouri Pacific Railroad, was first named Weeks. but in 1886, the name was changed to Bushong after the St. Louis Browns legendary catcher, Albert J. "Doc" Bushong. Following the Browns 4 game to 2 win of the 1886 World Series over Chicago White Stockings, the Missouri Pacific Railroad honored several of the St. Louis players by naming some of their towns after the players. Bushong had played every game in the series and was at bat, in Game Six, when the winning run scored by stealing home. The city of Bushong, is the only one still carrying its name from the 1886 World Series.〔(Doc Bushong; Society For American Baseball Research. )〕
